"When we begin to feel this way, a lost part of our soul is already being 'activated' and called home. It's an ancient feminine remembrance of who we really are - one which we often also resist, but that is undeniable.”
- Nicole Barton
"We don’t just one day wake up confident, magical, powerful, and capable — we BECOME that woman, gradually, cultivating those parts of us to feel welcome."
- Nicole Barton
"You do NOT have to always blindly say YES. 🔥
You CAN say NO to what's NOT aligned for you."- Nicole Barton
I’m not here to tell you the next step; I’m here to help you uncover your own magic, your own power, your own truth. That’s the witch’s medicine — to reflect what’s within, even when it’s uncomfortable.

“Without our bodies, our Souls would not have anywhere to dance...” ~ Nicole Barton
I've been in some of the most powerful work of my life recently - the work of reclaiming parts of me that I had pushed into the darkness – and that uncovering has shed much light (and darkness!) on my work and how I support others in liberating themselves.
“You do not have to be good. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.” ~ Mary Oliver
Fear is something inbuilt to us; it’s evident throughout nature in the way animals instinctively respond to danger, and it operates just the same in us. And yet, whilst it’s such a primal and natural piece of our cycle of wisdom…
“We are all formless energy, dancing as form.” ~ Dicken Bettinger
For many years now, I’ve been an advocate for what feels very truth to me – the idea that there is ‘nothing to do’ to find peace, joy and happiness. I can see so clearly that it is ingrained in our very essence that we are already everything that we might seek outside of ourselves for. But what if we can still choose to dance as whatever we long to create?
“Cells upon cells are just intelligently collecting and arranging themselves into a new human being, urging our bodies to adapt, and this offers us a real-life, living proof that truly anything is possible.” ~Nicole Barton
It wasn’t until the first week of lockdown that panic started to set in. I’m not usually one to look outside of this moment right now - for this is the only time we really ever have - but there’s something about being 5 months pregnant during Covid-19 that has felt, at times, more turbulent and overwhelming than usual.
“Being in love isn’t really about the hearts and flowers of Valentine’s day; this is a very ‘outside-in’ way of looking at love.” ~Nicole Barton
When we get too attached to this consumerism-driven celebration, not being in a relationship can leave us feeling alone. Feeling that love had disappeared is some of the deepest suffering I’ve experienced – but it also taught me a lot; I saw that if we just look a little deeper, we can see something different.
“I hadn’t known it, but all I had really ever needed was nothing more than someone to hold my hand and deeply listen.” ~ Nicole Barton
About 5 years ago, I was deeply suffering in a life that didn’t feel like it was my own, but felt more as if it were a bad dream. I remember feeling a sense of hopelessness, and much of the time it manifested as anger.
“We have been conditioned to look outside of ourselves for answers for many years instead of looking at the fact that we have all the wisdom already within us.” ~ Nicole Barton
Aren’t New Year’s Resolutions so old school? I have grown up in a society that sees fixing, changing and ‘doing’ as critical to our existence. But what if in the new decade, we could see something different about this that offers us freedom?
“What if we could find freedom from all of our suffering by simply embracing the art of doing nothing?” ~Nicole Barton
I’m here to share exactly how we can do that, offering three ways we can begin to reconnect to our inner wisdom, instead of looking outside of ourselves for even more ‘to do’ in order to feel better.
As World Mental Health Day October 10th approaches, I explain why it’s time we all ditched self help and #DoNothing…
In an age where our society is deeply suffering with uncertainty; with the social illumination of issues like #metoo, increasing suicide rates and mental health challenges such as stress, anxiety and depression at an all-time high – not to mention the prevalence of huge political and environmental unrest, we are constantly living in our heads.
